How the exam will ask it

ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್

  • Multi-State Co-operative Societies are registered under the Multi-State Co-operative Societies Act, 2002, not under the Co-operative Societies Act, 1912.
  • Co-operative societies whose members and operations span more than one State fall under the Central Registrar of Co-operative Societies.
  • The Auditor's Report Order, 2026 prescribes a uniform audit-reporting format for multi-State co-operatives.

ಮೇನ್ಸ್

GS-II/III: Co-operatives and governance. Audit quality in multi-State co-operatives has been uneven, so the Ministry of Cooperation has used the Multi-State Co-operative Societies Act, 2002 to prescribe a uniform auditor's reporting order. Standardised reporting improves transparency, accountability and member trust; the way forward is strong enforcement, auditor capacity building and digital audit systems, while respecting the federal balance since co-operatives are a State subject.
